The T-Ball Mariners baseball team, sponsored by Aparro's Little John, had quite a successful season. These first-time players took to the diamond and played with all their hearts. Sean and Liam Ryder were rambunctious in the field, while Meghan Ryder (not to be outdone by her twin brothers) came out of her shell and excelled on the field. Southpaw Erin Ware gave the ball a ride and flew around the bases and Bobby Lewis made tremendous contact with each at bat. Megan Shovlin played the field like a pro and Rainer LeBlanc ran faster than a speeding bullet. Sean Colbert fielded grounders with ease as Alyssa Somer showed her skills with her bat. Trevor Cannella played despite being injured while Sean Looney and James Carroll made awesome outfield plays.
The team extends a great big thanks to all of the wonderful parents, especially Coach Richie Ware, Coach Paddy Ryder, Coach Brian Cannella and Junior Coach Joey Quiros, who helped out when not playing for the MacArthur Generals baseball team. They wish everybody a healthy summer and hope to see all the players again next year.
